About this listen
Generation X is carrying a unique and often invisible health burden. In this episode of Somnilopod, we explore the top wellness challenges facing Gen X adults—chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, sleep problems, physical health worries, and the strain of being part of the "sandwich generation."
This episode explains why sleep issues are so common in midlife and how stress, mental health, caregiving responsibilities, and health concerns quietly disrupt the nervous system at night. Rather than blaming or pathologizing insomnia, Jay reframes sleep struggles as understandable signals from an overloaded system.
If you're a Gen X listener feeling exhausted, restless at night, or "not quite yourself," this episode offers reassurance, insight, and a compassionate starting point for better sleep and overall wellness.
